Controversial law regarding the storage of personal data chose the first victim.

In Russia could start a real war with social networks. The first ban is in danger of falling network for business contacts Linkedin. Roskomnadzor has already made decisions about this in Tagansky court, but it not entered into force because it is being appealed in the Moscow city court. This network is charged with a violation of Russian legislation on personal data localization. Linkedin not moved the servers with the data of Russian citizens on the territory Russia, as required by the law, which came into force on 1 January this year.
the Law, even at the time of its adoption, many experts believe the precocious and technically unenforceable. Whether it demands the rest of the social network, e.g. Facebook, and is there a risk that they will be blocked behind Linkedin? We talked to experts in the Internet industry.

Experts close to Roskomnadzor and the management of major Internet companies have preferred to speak anonymously, and the situation outlined as follows.
Nor Roskomnadzor, nor the court at all desire can not close in Russia the network of American corporations. It is technically possible to restrict or hinder access to this resource on the territory of Russia. Relatively speaking, instead of the main page “the red palm” with the words “resource locked”. Any more or less experienced user will find the opportunity to “circumvent” this “palm”.
In Roskomnadzor understand this. But in social networks is also aware that unnecessary difficulties for users will cause damage. And both parties are aware of the impracticability of the requirements of the law. Therefore, they are in dialogue. Social networks explain its technical difficulties in moving the servers to the territory of Russia to the Supervisory authority, but are accountable for certain steps in this direction. Roskomnadzor puts a check and assigns the next check. On a number of social networks routine checks just stopped at least until next year.
- Obviously, all Facebook data of Russian citizens in Russian data centers are not moved. And don’t even dream to achieve this in the foreseeable future, – said the expert. Industry data centers have not yet sufficiently developed. But the network makes some steps towards a legitimate goal, it does not turn into Russian legislation back defiantly that everyone is satisfied. So does Google. On the other hand, Microsoft has been able to almost completely localize the data storage for the sale of tickets in Russia.
as for Linkedin, they’re like spammers and annoying not only us, but everyone in the world. They Roskomnadzor has received the complaint, checked it, double-Roskomnadzor proposed to discuss the complaint. But were ignored. So you need to go to court and be punished. It is insignificant for the Russian network, though not behaves as the most important and proud.
Close the rest of the social network nobody is going especially because they are able to negotiate.
According to experts, the law in this case takes us in the wrong direction: “it would be Better to prevent theft databases. They are stolen all the time, for the last six months so much has happened… And no one is caught and is not responsible. Instead, do profanation of personal data”.
I don’t use Linkedin, and my friends too. I think her main problem is that she is not popular enough in Russia to have qualified representatives – said, “MK” Deputy of the state Duma, member of Committee on information policy Vadim Denikin. And Facebook popular, he has a good staff, which conducts a dialogue with Roskomnadzor and other state structures. And compromises will certainly be found.
If there is no enforcement of legislation should be the same for everyone. But if for technical reasons it cannot do exactly one, then the punishment goes to the one who does not wish to communicate with the Supervisory authorities on this subject.
Now there are matching about how to be with data centers: whether to move them to Russia, rent in Russia, as to provide the necessary power? All this is interesting. And I am surprised that one of the networks it suddenly was not interested. But I wonder if she’ll be punished. Roskomnadzor — adequate structure that always goes to dialogue, willing to negotiate, never removed the shaft from all activities and does not seek to block someone.
